Isogonal Conjugate
The isogonal conjugate 
of a point 
in the plane of the Triangle 
is constructed byreflecting the lines 
, 
, and 
about the Angle Bisectors at 
, 
, and 
. Thethree reflected lines Concur at the isogonal conjugate. The Trilinear Coordinates of theisogonal conjugate of the point with coordinates
are
Isogonal conjugation maps the interior of a Triangle onto itself. This mapping transforms lines onto ConicSections that Circumscribe the Triangle. The type of Conic Sectionis determined by whether the line 
meets the Circumcircle 
,
- 1. If does not intersect , the isogonal transform is an Ellipse;
- 2. If is tangent to , the transform is a Parabola;
- 3. If cuts , the transform is a Hyperbola, which is a Rectangular Hyperbola if the line passesthrough the Circumcenter
The isogonal conjugate of a point on the Circumcircle is a Point at Infinity (and conversely). The sides ofthe Pedal Triangle of a point are Perpendicular to the connectors of the correspondingVertices with the isogonal conjugate. The isogonal conjugate of a set of points is theLocus of their isogonal conjugate points.
The product of Isotomic and isogonal conjugation is a Collineation whichtransforms the sides of a Triangle to themselves (Vandeghen 1965).
